Every Pro Football Hall of Famer to spend whole career with 49ers
The 49ers have a ton of Pro Football Hall of Famers in their history, and linebacker Patrick Willis on Thursday joined that list when it was announced he’ll be part of the 2024 Hall of Fame class.
While Willis is one of many former 49ers to get a bust in Canton, he’s one of just six players who spent their entire careers in San Francisco.
Greats like Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, Terrell Owens and Hugh McElhenny all played for other clubs before hanging up their pads. These six players did not:
LB Patrick Willis
Class of 2024
DL Bryant Young
Class of 2019
LB Dave Wilcox
Class of 2000
CB Jimmy Johnson
Class of 1994
OT Bob St. Clair
Class of 1990
DL Leo Nomellini
Class of 1969
